In his latest e-mail, Fyodor tells nmap-hacker subscribers that FBI agents are demanding webserver log data from Insecure.Org. From his latest e-mail:

"They don't give me reasons, but they generally seem to be
investigating a specific attacker who they think may have visited the
Nmap page at a certain time....In some cases, they asked too
late and data had already been purged through our data retention
policy. In other cases, they failed to serve the subpoena properly.
Sometimes they try asking without a subpoena and give up when I demand
one....Protecting your privacy is important to me, but Nmap users should be savvy enough to know that all of your
network activity leave traces....Remember this security mantra:
defense in depth."
